Folks, this project is still happening, so rest assured to anyone who has donated. Hulot, fortunately, directed all funds to Williarob. I guess that makes this a TN1 project now?
All a huge relief, I assure you, as I personally organized a large chunk of the fundraising through my many contacts in Indiana Jones fandom.
I see Hulot also opened a sock puppet account on FanRes which ultimately got the thread closed there. But again, this is still happening under more capable hands.
